** Description changed:

- Local denial of service via memory exhaustion caused by repeatedly
- opening and closing the /dev/cuse device file. A local attacker, with
- admin privileges, could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory.
+ Memory leak in the cuse_channel_release function in fs/fuse/cuse.c in
+ the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to cause a denial of
+ service (memory consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact
+ by opening /dev/cuse many times.
